Hyperion System9 -- Business Rules

I am doing a research that wether we can run MAXL Scriptsin Business Rules to automate Data Loading. I thinkthey both can server they same purpose. It will be reallyappericiate if some can give me their views regarding this. Thanks

Collin, You don't need someone from Hyperion to come out and do it butyes the person who is doing that needs to know what he is doing.One of our consultant spent few months and made DTS packages to dothis in an automated fashion. It took few months since we have lotsof applications and this person had other responsibilites too. The major steps in migrating between environments are:1. Copying data from repository tables for HyperionPlanning.2. Pointing the data to the right direction (UDLs and otherobjects).3. Copying Essbase application and databases including scripts,rule files and others as needed. This person who did it for us maybe available in January. If youneed, I can forward the contact details ( and the person is notme). Let me know.

Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issue

It was suggested I post this in calc manager as well, so I hope cross posting is allowed!
We are trying to migrate from Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
Our business rules were migrated to Calc Manager by our IT team. The rules run (for the most part).
Our main complaint about this migration is that it excluded our comments inside the business rules and added it's own!
When we first open the rule it is in graphical mode. But on the Script Tab I can see our orignal Business rule, but it's missing comments. Not all comments -- those at the top of the rule are intact, but after it starts getting into the meat of the rule, it loses many, but not all of the comments. When I chose to edit this rule in script mode, then calc manager adds tons if its own comments, making the code very junky to read.
So, multiple questions -- how do we get the migration of business rules to calc manager to stop losing our important comments. Is it possible to get the newly migrated rules to initially open in script mode rather than graphical mode so that it doesn't add it's own comments. Or is there a way to turn off the added commenting?
This is a snippet of our rule in 11.1.1.3:
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
/* FIX on account members that should be rolled up in the AGG statement below. */
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it comes up in graphical mode in Calc Mgr 11.1.2.2 (note that comment is already missing):
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it switches from graphical to script (bonus comments are added):
FIX ( /*DIM:Entities*/"D0P000 Pushdown")
/*STARTCOMPONENT:FORMULA*/
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
/*ENDCOMPONENT*/ ENDFIX
FIX ( /*DIM:Accounts*/@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
Thanks for any help.

You might learn to appreciate graphical mode in Calc Manager, we do. It is not like the old Business Rules in EAS. I am an old school calc script person, and have NO love for drag-and-drop coding ... I need control. ;-)
Insert a blank script object and paste your code into the 'Script' tab for that object. Set up your prompts and use the {} notation in your code. All of the comments will stay put ... as long as you DON'T USE EDIT, SCRIPT! We make a fair number of generic, reusable pieces of code and save them as shared scripts. These can be dragged into Rules. Click on the Rule's Begin object and choose the Script tab ... you will see how the bits are assembled into complete calc script. We've even come up with a way to use LOOP ... ENDLOOP as though it were a procedural IF statement so we can control whether or not a chunk of code is active or not.
Shared scripts are especially good for currency translation components since we occasionally add new currencies and want to make a change in one object that is used in dozens of business rules.

I had came across with same error in system 9, few years back.
Luckily, issue was in the installation phase. I had reconfigured the HBR repository to fix the issue.
Can you check on the Shared Services Roles for that user. Again, what you can try is create a new user, assign HBR admin and try login.

Job status of Business Rules not reflecting correctly in Hyperion Planning

Hi,
In our Planning Web Application version 11.1.2.1 (Classic application), we have issue with the Business Rules not changing the job status from Processing to Complete.
Essentially giving an indication to users that the job is taking longer than expected.
Having noticed that behavior, when we cross check with Admin credentials (Application Logs ) HBR Launch.log. The End Time of the job is updated promptly.
We have couple of SRs Open with Oracle but they concluded it’s a bug and need to upgrade to 11.1.2.2. But currently we do not have any plans to upgrade to the latest version.
In order to force the Status change to mark it as Complete at the SQL Server backend.
We have to update the status table HYP_JOB_STATUS manually via database update.
But this is laborious process.
Did anyone encounter such issue? Please suggest a feasible option here ?
Thanks,
Venkat

Hello Shiva,
We do not have any issue with calc rules; we are facing this issue with Business rules.
We have looked into the logs in both Applcation logs and Essbase logs nothing found strange except couple of .xcp files were generated in Essbase server. We have sent those .xcp files to Oracle for investigation. We have also noticed that Web Logic server was not hand shaking properly with Hyperion Server. Oracle responded with few application settings which we are already sycn with recommended settings.
We had the same issue in 8 months back and the same repeated now.
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi, tony.lee,
you can set the business rule on the forms which you want in these steps:
administration--manage data forms selected form edit--business rule option--add the business rule you want to launch .

Cannot see existing Business Rules in Hyperion Planning ?

Hello,
I'm working on Planning 9.3.1.2 :
I've developped several Business Rules with the EAS console (theses HBR are attached to a project).
But when I open the application in Hyperion Planning with my admin accounts. I can't see any Business Rules in the list of Business Rules, only Calc sCripts.
Is anyone as an idea ?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards

1. Make sure that you have used the planning outline and not the Essbase outline to develop the rules.
2. Also access needs to be given to the rules for a location (even to admin - somtimes). Ensure that you have given the access rights correctly.

Sayantan

Hyperion Business Rules cannot connect to Hyperion Planning

I've deployed these applications into one machine server:

- Essbase Administration Services 7.1.3
Everything runs well except that Hyperion Business Rules cannot connect to the Hyperion Planning as described in some error lines below:

Hi,
Have they ever worked ?
Have you followed the golden rule, start RMI, EAS, Planning, Log into planning application through the web, Open EAS, create bus rule, select outline of the planning application you logged in.
Also it is definitely checking out document ID 763345.1 in metalink3 (My Oracle Support)

Business Rules error-java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/hyperion/hbr/core/

Hey I recently applied the 11.1.1.3.04 service fix for calc mgr/planning which involved a few file changes for EAS as well.
I patched and re-deployed calc mgr/planning/eas without any issues in DEV
When I patched prod, and then redeployed the web servers, business rules is now failing.
This error is in the planning log:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/hyperion/hbr/core/HBRThinServer
and this error is in EAS log when I login to EAS:
ExecuteThread: '5' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.hbr.db.DBTable - Error while creating Repository object. Please make sure your HBR Configuration is correct.
ExecuteThread: '5' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.hbr.core.PluginDataManager - Error creating PluginDataManager. Please check your log file for details on what caused this error.
Anyone run into this issue and have any advice how to solve it? I also opened an issue with Oracle
THanks
Jeff

Thanks for the advice Nick.
I decided to redeploy EAS app server again, but this time also re-register the database. the register database step was not needed when I patched dev or test, perhaps because in dev and test planning and eas were on the same server. In prod, eas and planning are on different servers.
so after registering and re-using the existing tables so that I wouldn't lose my rules, the app deployed without any errors in the logs and all my business rule problems have been resolved.
Thanks
Jeff

Sorry for the long log message.
I am using the admin user. Is there a possibility that the admin has no privilege for the business rule? (Which is unusual because it should have all the privileges).
Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I think you have to give access even to the admin user to validate/run a business rule
try giving access to that rule and then validate

Hyperion Business Rule Error: Cannot retrieve connected root element for

Hi,
I am trying to open a business rule in EAS and I am recieving the following error: Cannot retrieve connected root element for Planning/Servername/Application/Database.
I am able to connect to the application via Planning Web, but I am recieving this message when I am trying to open the business rule in eas.
hoping if someone has come across this issue before and has been able to successfully fix it.

Sharing information between Hyperion Business Rules

I am trying to share information between two Hyperion Business rules in EAS console.
Suppose for example , I calculated a value and stored in local variable in one Business Rule.
I would like to have this information in another business rule.
Any idea about the possiblities.?
I tried to use Global Variables in EAS but the Global variables are fixed and cannot be changed.
Thanks ,
Rajan

Can you make a HBR local variable the target of a value? Doesn't that local variable have to resolve to a member in an Essbase database sooner or later if it's going to receive a data value from a formula?
Or did you create a local variable as Real and then used that as the target? Maybe that would do it? (Obviously I've never done this.)
Could you create a temporary place in the database to stick it and then delete it?
Something like:
1) Local variable = some kind of formula/calc
2) No Account->No Product->No Scenario->whatever = Local Variable value. The point is an unused member that will let you set a value without overwriting permanent numbers. That shouldn't be too hard to find in a Planning app.
3) In HBR #2, go after that member combination and number from #2, stick it into a local variable, and set that location in #2 to #Missing.
Kind of painful, but it shouldn't really be that tough. You will need to make sure you create the block in #2.

Cameron Lackpour

Hyperion Business rules

HI All,
The scenario is such that I have two set of data forms.
One is for monthly level budgeting and the other set of forms is for Yearly budgeting data.
Now, when I punch the data into the Yearly values, it has to evenly distributed into the monthly forms.
Ex: When I punch 120 in FY11, then it has to be divided by 12 and set 10 for Jan, 10 for Feb and so on and so forth.
Thanks All

This is the default behaviour of Hyperion Planning distribution. You should enable distribution in the form design and place the period dimension as Ilevel0descendants(YearTotal) to column. If you have already set even distribution (not 4-4-5 or 4-5-4) then the data you input on YearTotal gets distributed to months evenly. Therefore you wouldn't need to write a business rule for this.
Cheers,
Alp

Business Rules not visible in Hyperion Planning

I created a group in Shared Services and added 6 (native) accounts.
After that, I assigned Access Privileges to Business Rules in AAS for this group.
When I open Planning Web and go to Tools - Business Rules, 5 of the 6 users can see the Business Rules,
but one users only sees the CalcScripts.
I think I tried everything; removed/added the account from the group, refreshing security, refresh in Planning-Desktop
I'm using version 9.2.03
Anyone knows whats going on here?

Thats the strange thing; We use (native) groups to provision. This works fine for the other 5 users.
But even if I provision this one user for the Business Rules, they remain invisible to this user. (in Planning)
I discovered this morning that this user can create a new BR, but when I try to open it in AAS console I get an error
"Exception occured, Please check your log file for details."
Unfortunately, the log doesn't provide any more details. (even if I set the level to Debug)

Hyperion Business Rules and Essbase

I have an allocation business rule that uses the DATACOPY command to copy data from one cost center to another. I would now like to have the sum of 2 cost centers copied into the allocation cost center. In an Essbase calc script, I accomplished this by FIXing on some dimensions and then:
DATACOPY cc1 TO alloc_cc;
alloc_cc = alloc_cc + cc2
This works fine in a calc script, but the business rule does not like the "alloc_cc = alloc_cc + cc2" line. How do I accomplish this task in a business rule?
Thanks.
Terri T.

when I validate, I get this message.
Detail:Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200354): Error compiling formula for [alloc_cc] (line 13): expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["CC2"]) in function []
